Music is Power! or however that saying goes...(Day 10)

You know what I love, 90’s music (and early 2000s). The age where Boy Bands roamed the earth.
It was considerably less dirty, you could almost always dance to it, and often, it was inspirational.
Take for example, All Star
It told a generation of kids, with a fantastic beat and FUN –damentals, that basically they were amazing,, and they could do just about anything if they thought outside of the box.

And Solar Vacation. I used to hate that song whenever it was on the radio, but now I have come to realize that it was a part of my childhood and had better damn well get used to it.

And need I even mention the Spice Girls, Bowling for Soup (the early years), Chumbawumba, Five Iron Frenzy, Hanson, Britney Spears (with clothes on) Alanis Morissette, Blink 182, FM Static….what else am I missing? There was a lot is the point I’m trying to get across.
We’ve got the basics at least.

Kids just aren’t educated in the classics like they should be.

I was at a dance a few years ago at the end of the state fair when MMMBop comes on.
Now my immediate reaction is, oh hellz yeah, now this is a party, when 3 or 4 of my friends turn to me and say, “I’ve never heard this song before”
NEVER HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE
They were only 2 years younger than me at the most!

This is a travesty.
I have educated them since then, but still.
We can’t let this great music just shrivel up in history.
We need to broadcast it!
Shout it high on the rooftops!
Sing it loud in the showers!
And dance to it in the rain.
Anything that is loud, obnoxious, and children will have to hear.

And that is my challenge of the day to you fine BEDA-ers. Don’t let the music you love die.
Look at Maureen. I bet we all listen to a little bit more ABBA than we used to, now don’t we?

Acronym (and if you were wondering, MILF did count as yesterday’s, but I am NOT typing that out on here-you already know)

ABBA –Already the Best Band Around (thanks Jill)
